MCKINNEY, Texas, Jan. 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Independent Bank Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:IBTX), the holding company for Independent Bank, today broke ground on a new corporate headquarters at the McKinney Corporate Center Craig Ranch.

Bank CEO David Brooks was onsite and offered the following comments, “Today marks the next chapter in Independent Bank’s story.
